Weird Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree Bug Completely Ruins a Cinematic Moment

Highlights

  • A hilarious glitch involving gravity killed one Elden Ring player facing an optional boss in the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
  • The first and only expansion for Elden Ring has been praised for its massive size, challenging bosses, and expansive variety of content.

As a seasoned Elden Ring player with hundreds of hours under my belt, I can’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of the recent glitch that befell one unfortunate gamer in the game’s newest expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree. The community is abuzz with tales of the DLC’s massive size and challenging bosses, but it seems even gravity itself isn’t exempt from causing a headache or two.


A player encountering a disappointing glitch in the Elden Ring expansion “Shadow of the Erdtree” met an untimely end as they prepared to battle the optional boss, Putrescent Knight. Instead of facing the expected challenge, they were unexpectedly defeated by the formidable force of gravity.

The new expansion for “Elden Ring,” titled “Shadow of the Erdtree,” unveiled in June 2024, has left players in awe with its immense size and abundance of tasks, weapon enhancements, and foes to conquer. Critics and fans alike have lauded developer FromSoftware for the expansion’s grand scale and diverse new enemies and landscapes. Nevertheless, Shadow of the Erdtree‘s release sparked controversy over its challenging boss fights. Some players perceived these encounters as excessively difficult, with Chief Bloodfiend being a particularly formidable adversary. A recent example showcased a player’s unsuccessful attempt to reach the arena for one of Shadow of the Erdtree‘s enigmatic bosses, resulting in an amusing yet disappointing experience shared online.

Reddit user TheRealSpill posted a video of their attempt to battle Putrescent Knight in “Shadow of the Erdtree.” To reach the boss, gamers must take a daring leap to a designated spot on the map. This leap involves falling from great heights, which would typically result in death. However, FromSoftware intentionally programmed this fall to be harmless, creating an awe-inspiring prelude to the boss battle. Sadly, a bug intervened and caused the player’s demise instead, resulting in a disappointing turn of events during their journey.

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours spent navigating the intricate worlds of FromSoftware games, I can’t help but shake my head in disbelief at yet another baffling encounter. The latest addition to my ever-growing list of unexplained glitches occurred during my playthrough of “Shadow of the Erdtree.”

The Putrescent Knight is one of several challenging bosses introduced in Elden Ring’s latest DLC, Shadow of the Erdtree. This expansion raises the bar with tougher battles, making even early encounters like the Divine Beast Dancing Lion and Ghostflame Dragon potentially difficult for players. Some consider bosses such as Scadutree Avatar and Commander Gaius Messmer to be among Elden Ring’s most demanding fights overall.
